Chapter 10

Jacob POV

She sat on the ground in front of us drawing up a diagram of the castle.

"Their room is here. Entrances to the castle are here and guards are usually posted here." She said pointing to places on the map.

Sam and I looked at the map. It wasn't much but it was something. We only need a couple weeks and we would be ready to attack.

"You better hurry up." Her annoying voice interrupting my thoughts. "In less than a week he can claim her and then it's over."

A week! That's not enough time!

"Even if he did claim her it doesn't matter we can take her anyways." Sam says still looking at the map.

"No you can't if she is taken away against her will the need to be with him will kill her within the first day." She informed us.

Great we needed a new plan and fast because if he claimed her it was all over.

Bella POV

Over the next three weeks I focused on my lessons, though any time I wasn't being taught Edward and I learned more about each other. We had gotten very close. Edward had opened up to me and I opened up to him.

During the weeks Edward's urges to claim me got stronger and stronger. Though he had resisted them.

I had three days days to finish my lessons and at the pace I was working at I would be done a day early.

Though I wasn't going to slow down my lessons. So I woke up early again. Edward arms were wrapped securely around my waist wit his head buried in my hair.

"Good morning." I whisper as I roll on to my side to face him.

"Good morning, love." He replied as he pulled me snugly to his chest.

"You still haven't told me about the claiming." I reminded him.

Edward sighed. "Do you really want to know?" He asked.

"Of course." I said sitting up.

Edward sighed and sat up.

"We have a ceremony that's kind of like a wedding. I'll give you a ring and a necklace with my brand on it. You have to wear my brand every time we leave our room and then everyone will know they can't have you." He explained pulling me into his lap.

"Does everyone one know what the necklace means?" I ask thinking of the boys in my village.

"Every boy is taught that it means they are mated to a vampire." He answered.

I nodded and leaned against his chest.

After a few minutes Edward put his fingers under my chin and tilted it up to face him. He moved his hand from my chin to cup my cheek, running his thumb over it. I looked into his golden eyes feeling all the love I had for him.

He leaned in brushing his lips softly against mine. I felt sparks run through my body. I leaned in closer, deepening the kiss. Edward did the same for a few minutes but pulled away quickly before we went any further. I could tell the urges to claim me were getting stronger again.

He got up leaving me on the bed.

"We need to get you to your lesson." He said getting ready.

"Alright." I said getting ready.

"Rosalie and Alice Are going to come by tonight when I talk to Jasper." Edward told me.

"Alright. That's fine." I told him. Rosalia and I had learned to tolerate each other, but I still didn't know why she disliked me.

"Alright then let's get you to lessons." He said.

After my lessons Edward walked me back to our room.

"I'd wait until they get here but I really have to go now." Edward said cupping my face.

"Its ok you can go I'll be fine they will be here any second." I told him not wanting him to be late but also not wanting hIm to leave.

He sighed and leaned in to kiss me. Sparks ran through me as always. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrap mine around his neck an tangling my hands in his hair.

Edward suck and nipped at my bottom lip before pushing his way into my mouth and exploring every inch of it.

A throat cleared and I quickly pulled away blushing beat red. Edward however kept his arms wrapped tightly around me.

"Edward aren't you suppose to be talking to Jasper?" Alice asked.

When I peeked over Edward's shoulder I saw that Alice and Rosalie standing in the doorway.

"I was just leaving Alice." He said. He quickly kissed my forehead and head out the door.

Alice shut the door once he was out the door.

I walked over and sat down on the couch and they followed sitting with me.

"What's in the box?" I asked Rosalie.

"Its Edward's brand." She said.

"I thought I didn't get it until the ceremony?" I asked confused. "Why do you have Edward's brand?"

"Siblings keep each other's brands untill they find their mates and nobody waits until their ceremony to get their mates brand." Rosalie said.

She pulled out a necklace and handed it to me.

It was a simple chain with a silver locket hanging from it and encrusted on the locket was a roaring lion and Edward's initials.

"Its beautiful." I said amazed at the beauty of such a simple thing.

"Well we have to go Edward will be back soon." Rosalie said standing up and walking to the door. "Come on Alice."

Alice walked over and quickly gave me a hug. "You can't wear it until the ceremony." She said and quickly exited the room with rose waving as we went."

I walked over to the nightstand and opened the door placing the necklace inside.

I couldn't believe that in just a couple days Edward and I could be together officially.
